Simplecar 4th Gear April 9, 2013 Share April 9, 2013 Yes it does, since you forgot just don't use then. On my note 2, 1 hr drive home can drain 1/4 of my batt. So bad? Anyway, if you are in a vehicle, you can charge it on the move. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, GPS drain lots of battery juice, and the screen + 3/4G network to update the road condition. I have a car charger, normally will used it for long trips, for short trips I will just charge at home or work. Ultimately it's a good companion, they shows you where are the jams, at least you can inform who ever waiting for you or reroute which happened to me the other day.

I find slightly more wazers on the roads nowadays. In time, this app would be very useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use HP GPS sure consume a lot battery, even if using other GPS navigation. You want to charge HP while on the move, go buy socket to USB and just normal plug in USB connector to HP when driving lor. [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? No way bah. I've driven roughly the same distance and it doesn't jiak that much juice. I use 2D mode though. You have too many apps running, your battery is old? I'm using a BB Z10 and at most it goes down to 90%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, google has bought over waze to integrate in their google maps. with the huge amount of android users out there, there is no doubt that waze is more reliable before in terms of showing traffic flows. :) Edited February 5, 2014 by Knoobie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did turn off all the un-necessary apps from the second attempt onwards. the only apps running on my phone was waze, maps and GPS. stopped all other running apps. and the battery drain is still about 52% (on avg of 3 trips). i am just wondering if the battery drain is the same for you guys. pad fone is on ICS.

Definitely not as draining as yours. But I only used it once and most of the time I use google maps. Let me try later and let you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
